FORUM, an ophthalmic data management solution, to the biometry room which houses the IOLMaster 700. Once the patient’s mea surements have been taken from the IOLMaster 700, the data is also exported to FORUM with a touch of a button. “All our devices are networked,” Prof. Ganesh explained. “All the data, again, goes to our remote planning software—the EQ Workplace.” Before starting in the operating room, Prof. Ganesh will select the appropriate formulae, check all the data, and transfer the data to the CALLISTO eye. “I can import the data and have the details for a whole list of patients populated for a particular date,” he said. Once the surgeon selects the patient that will undergo the opera tion, the images from the IOLMaster 700 and the microscope can be matched to the left and right eye, setting the reference image. On the CALLISTO eye, the surgeon is able to set the axis and proceed with phacoemulsification with the QUATERA 700. “I like to inject the leading haptics into the capsular bag,” Dr. Ganesh explained. “I don’t like to implant the lens completely if I have to rotate it. Once I rotate the leading haptics, I then push the lens into the capsular bag. This way, it is easier to rotate and places less stress on the zonules. It’s a completely markerless system which is very comfortable for the patient.” Once the surgery is complete, the video of the procedure can be exported for the surgeon to review later. In a study analyzing 48 eyes of 24 patients using either a manual approach of biometry assessment or a digital cataract workflow, 4 the total diagnostic and surgical time was reduced by 17.5% in the digital workflow group to 1,125.8 seconds in the digital workflow group. Additionally, the complete time of surgery decreased by 11.8% in the digital workflow group. Currently, Prof. Ganesh found that he is able to perform 14 to 15 surgeries in one hour. “It is more convenient, efficient, and eco nomical when you have a digital workflow,” he said. “ZEISS has got it right, and they have been able to create a very robust system that works.” “ ZEISS was able to combine diagnostics with remote planning and OR technologies in the operating room to give us the best solution.” ” Sri Ganesh, DMB Ophthalmology

On the CALLISTO, surgeons may use Z ALIGN to set the reference axis for markerless toric alignment.

AT LISA tri IOL is that it provides very good distance vision, but a small downside is that near vision is weaker than other multifocal IOLs,” Prof. Hyon responded. “However, AT ELANA has very good near vision, so it is an improvement from the AT LISA tri IOL. The downside of the AT ELANA is that there is no toric option yet.” Prof. Hyon stated that he will implant the AT LISA tri toric IOL in the case that a patient requires a toric lens because he prefers the plate haptic platform on which the toric IOL sits. Integrated Workflow Solutions Provide a Streamlined Experience for Surgeons S urgeons require a multitude of data at their fingertips. “We are highly skilled surgeons, not unlike pilots, and we need everything— data, patient details, and parameters—so that we can do a better job,” Sri Ganesh, DMB Ophthalmology (India) said. In today’s dig ital world, the integration between diagnostics and operating room technologies is crucial to the surgeon’s success and patient safety. “ZEISS was able to combine diagnostics with remote planning and therapeutics in the operating room to give us the best solution,” Prof. Ganesh continued. The ZEISS digital workflow integrates the QUATERA 700 with the IOLMaster 700, CALLISTO eye, and the ARTEVO 800 Digital Mi croscope seamlessly and provides a surgical cockpit, making the surgeon’s workflow efficient. The QUATERA 700 machine is connected to and can control the CALLISTO eye. The QUATERA 700 provides streamlined phacoemulsification with its unique pump designed to give excel lent chamber stability. QUATERA 700 features the ZEISS patented QUATTRO Pump®, a synchronized fluid-exchange system with four chambers—two for infusion and two for aspiration—that oper ate in sync to provide chamber stability independent of intraocular pressure and flow. When Prof. Ganesh’s patient first comes to the hospital and un dergoes routine workup, all patient data can be transferred via the
